What can a CTO do for your business?

The job description of a CTO involves overseeing the development and dissemination of technology for external customers, vendors, and other clients to help improve and increase business. They are in charge of developing policies and procedures that leverage technology to enhance products or services offered by the company.

A CTO must stay abreast of new technologies and determine how these can be used to offer a competitive advantage. They lead the technology development and research team, manage technology partnerships, and oversee IT-related projects to ensure they meet the company's strategic objectives.
